| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that was better than I had thought. I'm not too used to the character designs yet still but I think it could work out in the long run. Then, there's the OP song that I think fits quite well for a military theme series (gave me slightly GATE vibes) Definitely got a good adventure vibe from this with the setting as well. In the meantime, we got some priceless face expressions!  |
 |
| omg dat face xD!!! looking foward for this one! |
 |
| parts of me forgive their decision to use totally different character design. But the other parts of me denied their decision to stick with standard directing. It should be narrated like a play in the theatre-like since the novel actually portrays like that. |

| Where are all the LN readers at? Was it adapted well enough for you guys liking |
| Pretty nice episode so far. The manga was ok so i wonder how that anime will turn out. For now it seems to be following the manga pretty good it's based of a LN but i didn't read it. |
| The character designs compared to the manga make it difficult to enjoy. But I guess it's just me. |

Tokoya said: Where are all the LN readers at? Was it adapted well enough for you guys liking They skipped a lot of stuff like the complete opening scene, but that looks fine as a whole, I 'd say. IIRC, no important stuff was skipped. the whole "jointing" between the various scene felt a bit rough due to skipping in between scenes/dialogues sometimes,a s they cut what wasn't immediately necessary. But then again for that it's better to ask peoples who haven't read it how they felt about the connection between the scene. Because the roughness may just be due to knowing that there was some stuff in between, for example~ The chara design somehow fits (except on Haro ~ ) despite being so much different from the novel illustrations, too. Colour/background are quite pretty as well. Should be enjoyable to look at, especially from the second volume onward. Seiyuu's performance feels quite fine too. Except Haro, again. What's with Haro, seriously. |

| Read the light novels, i must say the chara design is way different than what it should be. Anyways, I'm really excited about this series for a long time after reading the LN. |
| The last half of the episode really was good. Liking the MC and the princess so far. Seems like every Ikki lately is a savage. :D Straightforward stuff with a war going on, the princess going off on her own was ehhh, but still good so far. |
| I have no idea what they're talking about at first. Especially about Yatori's relatives and Ikta being the underdog. But I guess his habit is pretty understandable, considering he the type type that need "attention" also be like a jerk more and more. |

| Kind of a slow start, but it was decent. I'm looking forward to seeing how Ikta will handle that situation and how everything will play out. Also, the princess' full name is ridiculous lol. Her VA must have had a fun time pronouncing that. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Shipwrecked! Behind enemy lines! At gunpoint! I've read the first 9 chapters of the manga. Not a bad opening episode. Character designs will still take some getting used to, but good stuff so far. |
| Enjoyed the OP, so there's an automatic plus. Skipped a few scenes from the beginning of vol.1 but not to overly rushed. Wished it had a 48 minute first episode. Character designs are still iffy for me. Sometimes they look good then at other times the designs are meh. At least so far they are getting Ikta's character down. Also enjoyed Taneda Risa as Yatori. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Quite a good start from an anime only perspective, Behind enemy lines, Fantasy setting and War, Would make for quite the thriller. Seems strategic and tactical as well, So that's gonna be great to watch. The princess's name, What?xD I'm liking Ikta already and the rest of the cast seem great as well. The invincible lazy general eh? After hearing that I'm very intrigued on how Ikta is gonna get out of this situation. |
 |
| Nice adaption i say. Pretty background and character design not a problem for me. |
 |
| Better than I expected. Seems like a cool show. Wonder how the characters will develop. |
| nothing. |
| I think the artstyle in the manga of the characters is better |

| Definitely enjoyed the overall tone of this episode, lighthearted, but still maintaining a realistic tone, similar to actual down time in war. Gives me GATE vibes, and not just because the OP is by the same singer. I actually like the protag a lot for once, which is a shocker for a fantasy light novel. |
 |
| MC has to be the most insufferable dipshit in recent times. Almost makes me miss the silent gary stues we had the last few years. |
 |
| Really good first ep imo. Character design is good imo. Voice cast is great as well. And I can't wait to see why Ikki is a bad ass. |
| An adaptation of a Fantasy LN that isn't absolute shite, but is actually pretty good?? Well I'll be. Unicorns do exists. Props to Madhouse for their use of atmosphere to make the expository LN tom-fuckery less soporific. All of my complaints, however, are on that bullshit excuse of an OP. Wow, that has to be one of the worst OPs I've ever seen.... ever. Seriously. What the fuck kind of editing was that?? I've seen better transitioning in Inspector Gadget. |

| This feels unfortunately a lot like Gate which colors the show in foul colors immediately but I'll try to overcome it. I dunno, I guess since it's Summer and all, I expected that another LN adaptation will come with extremely rare Rokka no Yuusha slow pacing, strong atmosphere and such, but this felt rather typical ( which isn't a bad thing necessarily ) and definitely rushed. Just didn't feel the fantasy feel despite the eyegasmic visuals. The start overall wasn't bad. |

Don't worry about that. This is quite different from gate, as this is really centred on military tactics and battles in this medieval setting. larethian said: Zefyris said: They skipped a lot of stuff like the complete opening scene, but that looks fine as a whole, I 'd say.

What's with Haro, seriously. Haro's seiyuu is not an experienced one. She's primarily a singer it seems. In fact according to the web radio show, she had some problems grasping her character and had a lot of NGs. Both Risa and Inorin read the novels as expected of young star seiyuus and performed well as expected. I see. She definitely sounds less experienced than the others, so not surprised. |

| I honestly thought it wont be good but boy was I wrong... the first episode came out pretty strong |
 |
| I mean, its good, but I can't exactly say I'm impressed. All of the main characters were just kind of thrown together in a way that's kinda cliché. I don't know a single thing about the world/setting, aside from there being a war between some people about something. Also, the kids seemed to party really hard for just being washed up on a beach. You would think they were having an ordinary picnic on the beach. |

You would think they were having an ordinary picnic on the beach. So you would have liked 2 episodes of expoisitions before doing anything? This will come later. Ah, they skipped the search for food. they have quite a capable team, so yeah. Btw the frog and insect are what Ikta got. On that point, he's not as capable as the others x). |
|
| solid start after we got past the first 10 mins of waffle. Art style is a bit like MAPPA. Think this one has some promise. |
| So far so good. MC is fun, setting seems ok and the premise of MC being incredibly smart and using his brains to win battles instead of charging and yelling is something I always love to see. Looking forward to more. |
| quite the generic setting with a horrible execution. I doubt i will finish this piece of unimaginative, boring and quite listless low-effort-entertainment for the intellectual underclass. |

| I don't know much about the source material, but I loved the character designs. It's quite refreshing. This first episode was pretty solid imo and I like the setting and character, and the pacing is nice too. 4/5 |
 |
| GATE ended awhile ago so I haven't seen any military anime lately. This is pretty interesting so far. Not a real big fan of the character designs but its whatever |
 |
| Glad I don't read mangas so I am not always comparing them to the anime. Based on the first episode it is my favorite of the season. |
| It was okay I guess, better than what I expected at least. |
| Now this looks like a real military story. With premise of real battles. I'm bought. Yoroshiku~ |
| This kinda gave me a bit of an Arslan feel with that ending line but I'm interested to see where this goes. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| As per usual with LNs the poor voice actors are having a hard time pronouncing some of these exclusive names. "Tetdrich" pronounced as Tetochirichi was pretty funny. Male lead is a mad tactic genius but unfortunately just loves to molest women. He probably has creepy inner mologues in the novels. I'm not on board with the designs either. Feels pretty bland overall and suffers from same face syndrome. Eh. We'll see. I've watched worse male power fantasy shows. |
 |
| I like my steampunk so I'm partial to shows like this. I hope the characters have some depth t them and aren't just plot devices like in some other fantasy shows. |

Dark_Kain said: NaturalPerm said: Male lead is a mad tactic genius but unfortunately just loves to molest women. He probably has creepy inner mologues in the novels. Narration in the LNs is in third-person with very little focalization (except in topic scenes), that is kind of given if your main character must surprise the readers. So no creepy inner monologues, actually no inner monologues at all. That's good! Keeps that kind of content to a minimum then. |
